July 5th, 2020 History, MLA Comments Off on History

History

J. Hector St. John de Crvecur writes in his essay “What, Then, Is the American?” (Voices 1, 140) that the American is a “new man” who, “leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced.” Pick another Voices reading from week three. Do Thomas Jefferson, Judith Murray, or Tecumseh think that the prejudice they identify is new? Or, do you think that the prejudice that they identify is new? Pick one of these questions for your essay. Cite from the relevant chapters in Give Me Liberty to support your argument.

You willhave the opportunity to discuss certain aspects of the topic in class and online, but it is expected that yourpaper be your own work.  Be sure that your paper responds to the question and contains copiousreferences to readings assigned for the course. Please use the handout in the Supplementary MaterialsFolder on Canvas regarding How to Organize and Write an Effective Paper.to prepare this paper. Alldirect quotations from the texts used in the course should be placed in quotation marks and cited usingthe short form of the author’s last name and page number in parentheses (e.g., Chan, p. xx, or Lecture,April 14, 2020) and not in footnotes at the boom of the page.  Paraphrased material or ideas other thanyour own taken from the texts or from lectures must also be cited.  You should not consult or citesecondary sources not assigned for this course.  Do not prepare a separate Works cited page.

      Prompt:
      Classical Chinese political philosophers of the Confucian, Mohist, Daoist, and Legalistschools held a variety of views on the nature of man, which in turn supported theirrespective prescriptions for the ideal polity.  The arrival of Mahayana Buddhism fromIndia in the 3rd century challenged these schools by introducing new perspectives on thenature of human beings and on the human predicament, and these in turn offered thebases for competing Socratic (legitimating) myths. Ultimately, Chinese and Japanesethinkers and political leaders responded to this challenge by developing systems ofthought that contested the Buddhist challenge, even while incorporating some of itsinsights into Neo-Confucianism.

Select one of the schools of thought below:
a. Daoism (Laozi and/or Zhuangzi)
b. Mohism (Mozi)
c. Legalism (Han Feizi, with references to Xunzi where appropriate)
d. Tiantai (or Tendai) School of Mahayana Buddhism (you should include references to the Lotus Sutra where appropriate)

Compare and contrast it to that of either the Zhu Xi (Chu Hsi) Rationalist School of Neo-Confucianism orthe Wang Yangming Idealist School of Neo-Confucianism school with respect to the following questions:

1. What is each schools view of human nature?  Are human beings fundamentally good orevil?

2. What is the current condition of humankind, and why do men and women find themselves inthis situation?

3. How do(es) the Socratic myth(s) (or “noble lie”) advocated by each school support a polity/political order that offers a solution to the problem?

Your discussion of Neo-Confucianism must include references to the writings of Confucius and Menciusas well as to the writings of Zhu Xi or Wang Yangming in order to answer these questions.

In your conclusion, be sure to address the question of the extent to which there is the possibility of legitimate revolutionary change and the role of the people in such change for each school you are discussing.

Week 14 Factorial Designs

For Week 14, I would like you to apply your knowledge of factorial experimental designs. Please follow the instructions below carefully and answer all parts of the instructions.

Discussion Post Instructions: In one post, include the following information:

1) Choose two independent variables with two levels/conditions and one dependent variable that you could use in a factorial design. Clearly label which two variables are the independent variables and which is the dependent variable. These can be variables you described in prior Discussion posts, but they must be psychological in nature.

            For example, you may be interested in the effects of behavioral training (independent variables) on the frequency of students’ on-task behavior in the classroom (dependent variable). Let’s say that your first independent variable is type of reinforcement; that is, how students are rewarded for on-task behavior (Independent variable 1; Level 1: Student rewarded with 5 extra minutes of recess; or Level 2: Student rewarded with a piece of candy). Let’s say that your second independent variable is the schedule of reinforcement (Independent Variable 2; Level 1: Fixed Interval (reinforcement occurs at same scheduled time) or Level 2: Variable Interval (reinforcement occurs at random times)).

2) Imagine that there is an interaction between your two independent variables. Please state that there is an interaction and indicate the nature of the interaction.

For example, lets assume that there is an interaction between type of reinforcement and schedule of reinforcement. The interaction is such that the use of candy as a reinforcer increases students’ on-task behavior, but only if the reinforcement occurs at random times (variable interval).

3) Use a piece of scrap paper to plot your interaction by placing one of your independent variables on the x-axis, your dependent variable on the y-axis, and graph your second dependent variable using different colored lines on the line graph, as seen in Chapter 12 of your textbook (e.g., Figure 12.3, 12.4, 12.5). After completing the graph, take a picture of it and paste it into the discussion post or attach it to your post. Indicate whether your interaction is a crossover interaction or a spreading interaction.

Video Response 2: Celeste Headlee

After watching the following video, write a response detailing 3 things that stood out to you about the speech. Think of things that influence your experience as an audience member, try to focus on qualities that are not about the content of the speech, but consider things like delivery, visual aids, and other things the speaker has control of. In addition to identifying these speaking qualities, discuss how you can use those behaviors to improve your own speeches. Organize your response using a 3 paragraph format (introduction, point 1, 2, then 3, and conclusion).
